Fuel Solenoid Shutoff
I hope someone can help me diagnose my problem. I understand the fuel shutoff solenoid has a high current coil to pull in when ignition is in cranking position and a low current coil which holds the solenoid in when ignition is in run position. The solenoid will hold but it won't pull in on start. What I do is turn on the ignition switch and then manually pull the solenoid up.
There's a three pole plug and I think the center is for the high current coil. I don't get any voltage on the center wire regardless of where I have the ignition switch. I do have one wire of the plug with 12v when I switch the ignition on, so I'm guessing that's the low current coil. Looking at the schematic, I see a "power control module" showing fused power from the ignition start to the solenoid shutoff valve. I'm guessing this fuse is the culprit but I don't know where it is. By the way, the auto shut down relay checks out ok.
I don't want to buy a solenoid at $400 to find out that's not the problem.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
